| Beschrijving keerzijde | The enthroned Arsacid king seated left on a throne, receiving a palm branch from Tyche standing to the left, while a figure kneels at lower right presenting a wreath to the monarch — a scene symbolising divine legitimacy and royal investiture. A Greek dating formula appears in the field above, with the month name inscribed in the exergue below the ground line. The composition follows the standard late Parthian reverse type associated with the Seleucia mint, with Greek legends surrounding the central figural group. |

The attribution here is contested and worth noting: what Sellwood catalogs as "Artabanos II" in his Parthian coinage sequence is now widely identified as Artabanus IV by more recent scholarship, the same king whose conflict with Rome under Tiberius is documented by Tacitus in the Annals. Artabanus IV spent much of his reign fighting Roman-backed pretenders to the Parthian throne, and coin production from this period reflects the political instability — die workmanship deteriorated markedly, and billon replaced silver as the metal of choice at Seleucia on the Tigris.
